STATEMENT FROM US SENATOR KIRSTEN GILLIBRAND: “In the event of increasingly severe and frequent flooding events in Steuben County and across the country, we should be strengthening emergency relief efforts, resilient infrastructure programs, and resources to combat climate change—not eliminating them. I will do everything in my power to support Steuben County residents’ requests for federal assistance. My heart is with those who have lost homes and harvests to these destructive floods.” Senator Gillibrand was responding to Steuben County Legislative Chairperson Kelly Fitzpatrick’s statement from Tuesday. https://wlea.net/county-chair-kelly-fitzpatrick-the-state-and-federal-govt-agencies-need-to-come-through-now/
